LTE is defiantly Verizon. Also appears to cost $299 (w/ 2 yr. contract) on Verizon.
http://www.slashgear.com/galaxy-nexus-found-on-verizon-map-for-november-10-at-299-14188245/
Rumors have it going to AT&T & T-Mobile as well.... but those are just rumors.
LTE is technically AT&T as well, at least in some markets, but yes, I've heard the same rumors. That's what I'm trying to pin down, as Verizon's coverage in my area is spotty.

Lack of AT&T saddens me. Verizon has no coverage where I live.
God damn it, i don't care about verizon and their ridiculous pricing and lack of sim cards. Is this thing coming to T-Mobile?

I know how you feel, I feel the same way
I don't care if the f*cker costs $1000, just bring it to AT&T!!!!
Good news is..... wait for it.....
This info. seems dated, as this phone passed the FCC approval listings for AT&T and T-mobile.
http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/08/...s-through-the-fcc-possibly-heading-to-atandt/
So until we get an official Samsung or Google word on the actual carriers, I would just sum up everything to speculation.
The FCC testing reports and official spec sheets that have been floating around show the proper bands for both ATT and TMO. So, you can just order it where ever...
For those that are new to this line of phones, the nexus series has always ended up on all of the major carriers. Just be patient. I'm just as excited as you all are.

Yeah, that's just outrageous. It's typical phone pricing before the phone is actually released. When the dist settles, nothing but good news will come from it. There will be no way that this phone will be over $600. I'm thinking that $529 will be the sweet spot.
This is pentaband phone. I don't know why you need a carrier to have the SGN. I would buy it out right use it whatever carrier your on. Don't need a carrier to subsidies it even though it will be as cheaper way to go.

Ok, I;m gonna go out on my NooB limb here and just ask...
So, lets just say the Galaxy Nexus goes Verizon only in the U.S. (I don't think this will be the case, but for $hits & giggles, lets just say that's what happens)... I would assume that this Verizon version would be the LTE version of the Nexus. Ok, so since Verizon uses CMDA, I couldn't purchase one at full price from Verizon and just stick my AT&T card in it an expect it to work, could I??
So the other option (in this imaginary Verizon/U.S. only world) would be to order a over seas GSM version, use my AT&T sim card??? If so, would I need a unlock code??
Sorry for the stupid questions... just trying to get all my ducks in a row, so I know what to do when the official carrier info. is released by Samsung. This stuff just isn't my forte; usually just stick to a carrier phone, but am willing to make an exception in this case. Thanks.

Not all LTE use the same frequencies just like the GSM issue with AT&T and TMobile in the US or even among some European countries where a 3g phone from one country will only have EDGE in another country even though both are GSM/UMTS. I haven't seen anything with the LTE frequencies being used, but you can easily Google to find the Verizon versus AT&T frequency problems as many have commented on it...prior to the release of this phone that is.
Now, it may be possible for Samsung to include many/all LTE frequencies in one radio. That sure would be good for the end user.
I don't care how much it would cost either, I just hope one of the models is ported to sprint

If you were to import a GSM hspa phone, no worries. All nexus phones are unlocked. You can use any GSM carrier. Previous nexus were either T-Mobile compatible or att compatible. But it seems the Galaxy Nexus is compatible with all GSM carrier.

Seriously. I am contemplating switching to Verizon, but I just don't think that it is a good idea to switch carriers just for a phone. Guess I will just have to enjoy my E3D until the SGN comes to Sprint - if it does.

I'm in the same boat. My Sprint contract ended on Thur, my Evo's USB has broken off, so I'm in need of a new phone. I can move to Verizon - or perhaps stay with Sprint and grab a Galaxy S2 (and wait for ICS port).
Recommendations?
Thanks and Gig'em.
So this sucks.... I hate you Verizon.

Later... How much later??? Maybe??? Jesus, might as well wait for the SGSIII if it's gonna be spring of next year or some ridiculous thing. Hopefully the Asus Transformer 2 comes out sooner, that way I can at least console myself.
**Edit**
"Samsung Janel: My mistake, no U.S. carrier has been determined yet. Stay tuned for updates."
Galaxy nexus prices?
So,what are the off contract prices for the galaxy nexus( in other country's)
in The Netherlands.
it will be released in December(late in my eyes) and for advice price of 649 euros!
really expensive in my eye's.
thats:
887,57 dollar.
564,76 British pound.
so im looking into a solution to import it for a cheaper price than the dutch version.
we use GSM here and that means the HSPA+ version if im right.
Pricing list:
The Netherlands- 649 Eur-887,57 USD-564,76 GBP
belsimpel.nl- 649 Eur-887,57 USD- 564,76 GBP [32GB]
MOBICITY- 605,50 Eur-810,18 USD-520,69 GBP [Pre-ORDER]
British retailer Clove-588,38 Eur-813,61 USD-514.80 GBP [16GB]
Italy-599 Eur-828,30 USD-524,10 GBP [16GB]
T-Mobile-469,34 Eur- 649 USD-410,65 GBP[unlocked 32GB][Source unknown,not 100% accurate]
I don't think very long. A month at most....just my two cents but I'm pretty sure Google WANTS the Nexus on EVERY CARRIER....
Great....I respond to the post directly above and then you edit....
It's a tablet dammit! Not a BIG phone....
In Italy the 16 GB version is going to be released in the second half on Novembre/start of December for 599€ (825$).
But I'm going to buy the 32GB unlocked T-Mobile Galaxy Nexus (that works with European networks) for about 649$ (only 470€).
**** italian prices :-D
I had been thinking of switching to Verizon for some LTE goodness, but then T-mobile had to go ahead and create a $30 no contract unlimited data/texting 100 minute plan (I never use minutes).
I can buy the phone at $600 and save more than the Verizon subsidy in under 8 months...
Gah...so torn...

Lol don't worry about an LTE/GSM Nexus, if it actually happens it's going to come out next year at this rate. 32GB has pretty much been nixed save for Verizon's version. The leak for the Nexus in VZW tomorrow stated a WEB ONLY release, so it MIGHT still happen I guess, as December 1/8 is stating that's when they'll get it IN STORES with props and flyers, but I wouldn't hold my breath...

And then in 2013, when AT&T LTE is ready, you can use it!
When the Nexus launches on VZW I'm going to be switching from AT&T to Verizon. I've had AT&T for just about 10 years now, faithfully, but there are certain connections problems I'm just getting sick of dealing with. A few places that get no data connection at all, despite having full service and the bright H+ at the top of the phone (indicating HSPA+). I've already had 2 "4G" phones from AT&T (the Atrix 4G and now Samsung Galaxy S II) and I'm sick of dealing with dead spots.
That said, I believe it will be out on December 8th. Any sooner than that is probably just wishful thinking. If it *does* come out sooner I'll get it first day...but definitely not thinking it will.

Oops. Well then, being that I was just at VZ here in the US this afternoon, and the manager squinted his eyes and said "Galaxy what?", pretty much says it all.
It's pretty large store, and they had no accessories for it either. I would say tomorrow is not going to happen.

Aye. A friend of mine from highschool (has it already been 10 years? yikes) is a regional manager at VZW and he said he still doesn't have a date, but he also said Verizon probably won't tell the employees until it's very close to release because (in his words, not mine) Verizon employees don't have a track record for keeping their lips shut. He did promise me that he doesn't know when the date is and that he would tell me when he does.

That's why I ditched At&t for T-Mobile. At home I have full bars but can't hold a call for nothing. My gf has at&t still and I can never hardly get a hold of her.
We had 4 people over once and we all had full bars but none of us could call out to order a pizza. My friends have labeled my area a cellular black hole. Most of my nieghbors have recently switched too.
T-Mobile works fine but not on the road so much. My work verizon blackberry seems to always work everywhere I go. So I'm thinking of upgrading the blackberry and get rid of my personal line on TMo.
I don't have extra money till Friday so doesn't matter to me. I'm gonna wait it out for a few after release to allow others to figure it out. I want to make sure its gonna suffice. I'm kinda leery of dopey relying on Verizon cause I tether my Asus Transformer when I travel and like to play with it alot.
LTE doesn't bother me. Ill just disable it most of the time to save battery. 3G is fast enough for me for day to day stuff.

Cool story bro, but I highly doubt that since the S3 ain't even out yet.
And even if it was I don't think they would offer it, maybe the Amaze since it's equivalent to the S2.
So I call BS on your friend!!!!

I Was There Tho We Both Work At Radioshack....So We Go Thru Customer Service For Customers Everyday when we call for them, amd we decided to call for her phone and she was offered that, and they said that she would have to wait till it was released and it was an alternate exchange...i dont get it if maybe the rep was a dumb rep or what... idk but im mad she didnt choose the S3...
S3 is not even up for sale until 21st and cannot be offered for warranty. They are not even offering Amaze for GS2 replacement. The only switch I've heard them offering is the Sensation 4G mentioning it got ICS while GS2 will keep waiting to get it.
wtf? don't do warranty exchanges with Tmo, do it with Samsung directly so you won't get a ****ty refurbed amaze or sensation lmao. I wouldn't be surprised if those cheap asses sent a g2x back. s3 I highly doubt it unless she gave head to the CEO or something.
I vouche for him as this happened to me ( also an ex employee of radio shack) before the vibrant released. The people we had to speak to about customer issues with the carriers are MUCH different than the normal customer service you get by calling the toll free number. Way more helpful and they weren't based in a different damn country lol

Nope. The people you deal with at T-Mobile are different than radio shacks. Trust me its strange. I used to get past due balances marked off and a whole slew of other **** these people would do on the phone to get these people to sign that contract. The same situation spoken about here also happened to me with an evo 4g. Customer came in wanting to shut down her contract at her 2 yeas end and she was offered a completely free pre order for the evo 4g. I got hired at T-Mobile too back in October but the att merger left me with little to 0 hours. Had to quit and find more money :-/ unfortunately that turned into Home Depot. Which i very much despise. :'(

Though these people are correct. RS dumped tmo for Verizon. But they're also wrong because people still bought warranties from radioshack on their phones and those last the entire 2 year contract. Radio shack still has to honor all these contracts or else they have a sweet ass law suit on them.

That last post makes sence i did not think about that. They would have to honor existing contracts and they probally do deal with different people but i still think that the story is bs
I actually am a tmo csr and can say with all confidence that:
1. Radio Shack employees are working with the same reps as general customers
And..
2. The s3 is not available as an exchange option for the s2, regardless of color.

So, I am currently in the market for a new phone because I am sick of how HTC treats their customers. I was wondering if you guys thought jumping on the Galaxy Nexus would still be a good idea even though the Sg3 is out.
The Sg3 looks amazing, but it is kind of out of my price range with the average price being $400. I have found a few Nexus' anywhere from $200-250 which is more my style. The thing that worries me though is that it is already close to a year old and I know the minute I purchase one the next greatest phone will be out.
Does anyone know when the next Nexus phone will be out? I am due for an upgrade around March, but would really like to jump to a 4g phone before then.
What do you guys think? Stay with the inc2, grab a Nexus, or just wait until I can get something with my upgrade?
Any ideas?
I've had an upgrade since July I was going to get the sg3 but when I found out it was dual core it turned me off BC I was stoked for quad. Then I was going to get the inc4g, but I hate sense and I'm tired of HTC. I was close to getting the gnex on Saturday for $50 from best buy, but like you said its already a year old plus the 5mp camera is kinda iffy for me especially since the og Inc had an 8mp back in 2010! I'm going to wait for the galaxy note 2 coming out soon 1.6 quad core 2gigs ram super HD amoled running JB
I was considering a SG3 as well, or the GNEX, but I am currently satisfied with the Inc2 at the moment and will way my options when I am ready for a new device. I am curious if anyone has tested out any of these phones and had any opinions as well. I have not "upgraded" since they got away from unlimited data, so I am still grandfathered in and not sure if I will sign a new contract or just purchase the phone. The 4g is not a big issue with me as Big Red has not brought it to our area yet, and probably wont see it anytime soon.
Maybe I will wait for the Note 2 as well. My friend has the SG3 and the screen on it is beautiful. The one thing about the Note which I am unsure about is the stylus. I don't know how I feel about that. It's not like that is a big deal breaker for me, just something I'm unsure about. I have had 4g in my area since it has been released, for the most part, so I def want to go 4g. I am worried I will lose my unlimited, which is why I was starting to look for 4g now.
Samsung does make a great looking phone though. Colors are so vibrant on them. When the Note 2 comes out, is it supposed to be better than SG3 or is that phone still going to be considered the best?

It's not HTC's fault. They already gave the OTA to vzw a while ago. It's big red's fault for not releasing the goddamn update already because they need to bloat the **** out of it before they can be satisfied.
Because he's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So, we'll hunt him, because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian. A watchful protector. A Dark Knight.

Samsung does make a great looking phone though. Colors are so vibrant on them. When the Note 2 comes out, is it supposed to be better than SG3 or is that phone still going to be considered the best?

The stylus to me is just an accessory. You can function the phone without it. If I use my upgrade I will lose unlimited, but I'm only using 1.3 gigs a month. Not to mention my $200 phone bill and 2 unused phone lines. So upgrading will cancel unlimited data but I'll be saving $100+ dollars a month with my military discount. There's no real reason to use 4gig+ of data so I wouldn't worry about losing unlimited. Unlimited data users probably are getting throttled anyway. The note 2 is going to be a supercharged s3. Check out the specs on both http://www.autoomobile.com/news/samsung-galaxy-note-2-vs-s3-4/1003595/
My only problem is whether to stay on Verizon or not. The Verizon version of the note2 is going to have the Verizon brand on the home button! I can't believe that. I'm super satisfied with my inc2 only BC I rooted. But the lack of ota is troubling. This phone isn't that old

Do you know of a way to check the actual data usage without calling up Verizon? I also just did watch a few videos of the Note 2 being used and all I can say is WOW. This phone looks like it is going to be a pure beast. Also, you are right about the stylus being an accessory. After watching this video with it in use, I think I completely changed my opinion on it.
This is the video I just watched:

Edit: Damn, I can't figure out how to embed the video so it isn't just a link.

I only have 2 options for cellular service, Verizon or Cell One because I live in a small town. I have been with Verizon since probably 2004, switching from Sprint when I lived in Atlanta GA. I have never had an issue with them as far as service quality, prices are a bit high but I will pay for them as long as I have good service. As for the Inc 2 I will probably use it for another year or so before I consider switching, unless something happens to it before then. I have only been using mine for about 3 months or so and paid $75 for it from an acquaintance of mine that upgraded to the RazrMaxx.

I am from New Jersey love the service I get from Verizon. I have yet to go someplace that doesn't give me great service (unless I'm in a basement with no windows or something similar). As for other services, I have just about everything you can find in my area and from having friends I pretty much see everyone leave all other to come to Verizon. AT&T is the only one that can compete with Verizon in my area, but the only people I know that have that service is the Iphone users. For $75 you can't go wrong with this phone. It is def a great phone and aside from the lack of updates and no 4g that is my only complaint.
Nitsua, you say Big Red has the OTA and I have heard that before also, but how true is it? Is Verizon keeping the OTA secret because they are bloating it up or do they actually not have it? We may never know the truth until it is either released or they come out and say that the OTA will not be coming. Of course, I hope it comes, but I feel myself slowly getting sick and tired of the wait, especially since they promised up end of Aug. and now we are a week from October.
Yes, They have been late on phones before, but from my research, this is the longest they have gone after missing a date which really angers me towards both HTC and Verizon.

Verizon has it. How else would you guys have your ics leak . They have to perfect it though and make sure that there are no bugs. Also since it's an older device that not many people have, they are setting their focus on other phones.

I'm not too bothered by not getting the ICS OTA honestly. There are plenty of ICS ROMs that are functional enough for me to use. I'll just stick it out until I can upgrade in July, 2013 and either upgrade or switch carriers. Who knows what phones will be out by then?

Play store has a VZW app for usage.
I have a droid bionic just sittin here. I may use that, but with that remote phone wipe hack I may just forget about it.The hack doesn't seem to affect the INC2.
my upgrade isn't till may. Depending on the inc4g, i will purchase it if its s-off. Otherwise, I think i'll be getting the SGSIII. My next phone has to be unlocked someway.
I'm really diggin the xperia phones. And it looks like most of them are getting ics in the next couple weeks. The ion is free on the us sony site.
Depends what's out by August 2013

I am currently deployed to Afghanistan. I had one of my two lines with sprint frozen starting in Oct. since I wouldn't be using it. They do this for military all the time. My upgrade for that line was supposed to be in Nov. I was planning on giving that upgrade to my brother on my other line since I won't be using for a while But the funny thing is, Sprint completely dropped my line within days of me getting the upgrade and now... No upgrade. I'm sure that I can call and complain to them till they fix it. But maybe it's a better idea to just load T-Mobile onto this phone and try out the pay as you go deal. Anyone here have any reasons for me to stay with Sprint? Or know any of the benefits of switching? I'm just interested in what any of your opinions are on this. Thanks!
Tmo uses sim card. You could go with boost if you research how to flash a boost rom in the development section, plus you'll still have wimax as well.

Oops My bad. Boost, not tmobile. I've never been able to use 4G because of the areas I've lived in but that is a plus to still be able to use it. Thanks gatesmarch123.
T-Mobile means you could get the Nexus 4. Nexus 4 = Worldwide quad-band radio frequencies. Pop in a sim from another country if needed and you're gold.
Edit: My bad, just saw you meant Boost

Thank you for your service!
I agree with the post above. Mighrt be a good way to get the Nexus 4 on t-mobile.
I like the phone I have a lot, but I know that Nexus devices are great and I am up for trying out any service provider (Besides ATT of course!). Thanks for the advice. Since I'll be traveling a lot, a Worldwide quad-band phone sounds good

You know, with the little experience I had with Straight Talk prepaid service, it was great. I had an S3 on it and the service was very good. Best of all they have an unlimited plan including international service for $60 a month prepaid. If you're up for trying new things, wouldn't hurt to try Straight Talk for a month. I mean if you don't like it, the Nexus 4 can be used with any carrier that uses SIM cards. So you have plenty of options.

Hmmm... T-mobile is sounding preeetty good to me. I'm liking the Nexus 4 too.
You could flash to cricket, really simple to do and you don't need a donor phone like you would flashing to boost.
That's a good idea too premise. Cricket is getting somewhat popular where I live. I can do that and have a really nice back up phone or give it to someone. I really do love the Epic 4g Touch. But I really think that I am going to try out T-mobile and get the Nexus 4. I can get the 16gb version for 350 directly from Google. Anyone know any other good deals?
Speaking from experience, Sprint has the tenancy to anger their customers.
That seems to be true haha they do what they want with your line that you PAY for. But still, AT&T is the worst. They want $800 to cancel my wife's line even with my deployment orders + we do not get service where I live. I guess I will have to take care of it in person when I get home in 7 months. Not cool at all.

I read you are thinking of T-Mobile Here are some links that can be helpful.

http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/phones/Cell-Phone-Detail.aspx?cell-phone=Google-Nexus-4
I don't suggest straight talk if AT&T don't get good service where you live. T-Mobile might be your best option.
And thank you for the services you provide so I can enjoy everything I do!
Thanks for the links man! I am def getting the Nexus 4. Not sure if I want to get it from T-mobile though. That phone is just too good to pass up! And hopefully get the Nexus 7 tablet for Christmas and slap Ubuntu onto it
No problem. Thank you for the service. It means a lot to me!
